Glamour Model Held In £150k Cocaine Bust

Footballers’ Wives actress Holly McGuire has been charged with drug offences after more than £150,000-worth of cocaine and cannabis plants were found in a police raid.The 31-year-old glamour model – who played Keeley in the ITV1 show – is accused of conspiracy to supply cocaine, cultivating cannabis, money laundering and illegally abstracting electricity.

McGuire was arrested in June after detectives raided a house in Hornchurch, Essex.

Officers found £120,000 cash in the boot of a Bentley Continental parked outside.

McGuire is alleged to have been staying at the house with a friend, Steven Brace, and to have plotted with him to supply 3kg of cocaine found in a wardrobe.

Officers are also alleged to have found 56 cannabis plants growing in the garage at the property.

They are both also charged with abstracting electricity by allegedly re-routing the mains supply at their house to power numerous ultra-violet lamps inside.

McGuire was charged under her real name Victoria Yallop at Basildon Crown Court, Essex.

She was freed on £5,000 bail with the condition she stays at a nearby address and does not go outside between 6pm and 6am.

McGuire now runs a media company which helps aspiring models with their photographs and portfolios.

The former actress, who appeared in Footballers’ Wives in 2006, used to date England defender Rio Ferdinand and has also appeared in several adverts.

She has been the subject of a string of TV documentaries about glamour girls and plastic surgery.
